The scoreboard speaks. Your graphics listen.
UniversoOCR watches the venue scoreboard through a camera or NDI feed and streams the clock, score and shot clock into OBS, vMix or any graphics system — in real time.
Hand-typed scores are always one beat behind the game.
Somebody watches the board, shouts the score down a headset, somebody else types it into the graphics. Every basket, every timeout, every final minute — a chance to fall behind or get it wrong on air.
UniversoOCR removes the relay entirely. The camera already sees the scoreboard; the software reads it like a machine — every 100 milliseconds, all game long — and your graphics update themselves.
- Clock, score, shot clock read automatically
- Operator typing errors eliminated
- Graphics delay effectively zero
Built for the venue, not the lab.
Real scoreboards flicker, glare and switch formats mid-game. UniversoOCR is engineered for exactly that.
Train it on YOUR scoreboard's digits in one minute — then it reads them with near-perfect accuracy, every game.
Seven-segment, LED and dot-matrix displays. Multiple OCR engines with a purpose-built cleanup pipeline.
Automatically follows boards that switch to tenths of a second in the final minute — game clock and shot clock.
Freeze the frame while the game runs to calibrate fields, thresholds and teach samples without pressure.
OBS WebSocket, vMix API, HTTP/WebSocket server and JSON/XML files — plug into any graphics workflow.
Everything runs on your machine at the venue. No cloud dependency during the broadcast.
Beyond the clock and score, UniversoOCR reads printed text (team names, period labels, player numbers) and even detects indicator colours — possession arrows, bonus lamps, penalty and red/green lights — and sends them to your graphics like any other field.
Numbers that hold up under the arena lights.
Engineered around one job: keeping your graphics honest for the full sixty minutes.
It watches the board all night, so nobody has to.
